"We're going to spin off or find partners for many of our programs," Shalala said.Īccording to Shalala’s NPR interview, restructure planning of the foundation began a year ago and she said many of the foundation's programs would become separate non-governmental organizations. In an interview with NPR on Tuesday, Clinton Foundation President Donna Shalala said that the foundation would not shut and would in fact move many of its efforts to other organizations. The former president announced on Thursday to staff that this will be the 12th and final year of the initiative arm of the foundation. In his book "Giving," the former president wrote that he wanted CGI meetings to convene for at least ten years. The CGI is an arm of the greater foundation that helps to link up partners with a particular need or project and works to make sure those needs are met over a given period of time and the success of those commitments is carefully measured and assessed.
It is not primarily a grant-making entity like many other foundations, although it does give grant money to other projects. The Clinton Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation and is an operating foundation, which means that the money it raises can go to its various programs, rather than simply as grants to other nonprofits. President Clinton announced in a letter to foundation staff on Monday that the foundation would be renamed again as simply the Clinton Foundation if Hillary Clinton were to become president. And since Hillary Clinton finished her tenure as secretary of state, the foundation changed its name to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, and Hillary and Chelsea Clinton were added to the board. The foundation then began publicly disclosing and updating its list of donors on a quarterly basis. The possibility that donations to the foundation might influence foreign policy decisions was a concern of the Obama administration and to allay those concerns, a memorandum of understanding was signed and consequently shared with Congress.
